A financial product regime refers to the comprehensive set of laws, regulations, and supervisory practices governing the creation, distribution, and trading of financial products within a jurisdiction. This framework dictates how financial instruments are defined, who can offer them, and the protections afforded to consumers. It establishes the operational boundaries for financial institutions. The regime ensures market integrity and investor protection.
